This week we put the spotlight on Upwork Enterprise, Upwork’s software and services solution that is targeted to meet the procurement and governance requirements of large businesses. The privately held company, Upwork Inc., was formed in late 2013 through the merger of oDesk and Elance. To date, it may be most known for its global online freelancer marketplace (based on spend/gross payment volume, the world’s largest). Upwork Enterprise was formally launched in 2015 as a solution that would allow enterprises to source and engage freelancers from their own private talent clouds, providing the ability to scale their use of freelancers, while maintaining enterprise-wide visibility into and control over the use of and spend on freelancers.
